The point about WMI was regarding the creation of a custom attribute, you get two choices, neither of which was helpful.

Stefan posted an answer for me on his blog, and I think I should be able to continue with my Big Idea.

The discovery SHOULD target the “DB” class and discover the “TABLE” class contained therein, for example.
This article from Steve should get you started on discovery based on SCRIPTs: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc983816.aspx
If you can script it, you can discover it, usually.
Hope that helps a bit.
